cell phone industry sued the city last year over the ordinance. well, it is new, it is simple and a way to cheat the people who play those scratchers games. investigative reporter vicky nguy nguyen explains how it works. >> reporter: cheaters are counting on you to miss the subtle changes to the surface of the card. scratchers are the california lottery's cash cow. last year players spent $2.7 billion on these games. >> send my kids to college. >> just a thrill, the anticipation. >> there's always a chance. >> reporter: the chances of winning big money are tough enough without cheaters like this store clerk in san jose caught on his own surveillance cameras. lottery investigators say when he wasn't working the counter, he was working over his customers, selling scratchers he

knew were duds. how did he know? because he had already checked them. watch as he leans over this stack of tickets. investigators say he's removing a tiny bit of the top part of the ticket. he's looking for a three-digit code. that code plus the bar code tells him if it's a winner. he sells the losers to unsuspecting customers. the crime is called pinning because they use something small and sharp like a pin. this three-digit code tells him what the ticket is worth. even frequent players can be fooled because unless you look closely, you'd never know the small line of missing latex. >> it's a big enticement. >> reporter: this is the acting chief of the lottery police. yes, the lottery has its own police. >> i look at this as stealing

from children. >> reporter: that's because the lottery paid a billion dollars to california schools last year. police say they investigate to keep the games fair and honest so you keep playing. >> we have looked at every single scam that comes our way. >> reporter: tonight at 11:00, we'll show you how the clerk sold the losing tickets to unsuspecting customers. plus we'll have more from lottery investigators as they go undercover to catch other cheaters who try to game the system. vicky nguyen, nbc bay area news. it is 5:21 right now. coming up, a south bay fire chief caught breaking the law. what he's accused of doing and what it's now going to cost him.

way to a lab to know an liesed. federal investigators say the eight-inch section of pipe had thinned dangerously near the spot that returned. a private lab will analyze the pipe for corrosion and other factors that may have led to its split last month. chevron decided to replace a nearby line last year but chose to delay replacement of that eight-inch pipe that ultimately failed, leading to that massive fire. investigators say they're now focusing on whether chevron followed industry standards when they decided not to replace the aging type. >> you know one of the things i love, the cool morning start but it warms up and gets sunny in the afternoon. christina will fill us in. >> i like to call it the rebound, the california rebound. we will see that today. temperatures starting out in the 40s and 50s. we will jump to the upper 80s at 4:00 p.m. in the heat of the day. so yeah, you get the best of both worlds.

moment of silence the moment the first plane hit the first tower on september 11th, 2001. and he will today go to the pentagon where they're having a memorial as well. the president and mitt romney both pulling their ads, negative ads, off tv today in remembrance of the more than 3,000 victims of 9/11, those who died on that day. vice president biden in shanksville, pennsylvania, today where he'll speak at the flight 93 memorial. they are still trying to get $5 million together to finish that one, even though it was dedicated a year ago on the tenth anniversary. mitt romney today at the national guard association convention in reno, nevada. he will speak there in what's said to be a nonpolitical speech. and as was mentioned, as my colleague, danielle, mentioned, no one at ground zero. the president is staying here. they want to keep the focus off the politicians and on the people who were impacted by 9/11. >> okay. well, it's awfully interesting, no surprise though, really, that

you mentioned that the candidates of course are pulling all negative ads. was that in advance -- did we know this in advance or was this something that was decided today? >> reporter: we knew that in advance. and it's not unusual on 9/11. but this is an election year, in the middle of a heated campaign, but they really want the focus today to be on remembrance. >> absolutely. as it should be. tracie potts live for us in the nation's capital. right now, though, the president is just about to lead the nation to observe a moment of silence at 5:46 this morning. of course our time. the north tower of the world trade center was hit by flight 11. less than 20 minutes later the south tower was hit by united airlines flight. flight 77 crashed into the pentagon. at 7:07, passengers aboard flight 93 tried to wrestle control of the plane back from

hijackers. that plane bound for san francisco ultimately crashed in a field in shanksville, pennsylvania, killing everyone on board. of course this moment of silence is going to happen at 5:46. it is now 5:45. we are just less than a minute away when we will take this time to mark the moment of silence. >> also part of that that will happen, family members of victims will be reading the names in pairs of all the people that died during that 9/11 attack back 11 years ago. right now a moment of silence.

>> that is president obama there with first lady michelle obama remembering the nearly 3,000 people that died in that deadly attack. the deadliest attack on u.s. soil in u.s. history. as america pauses to remember

this now infamous day in history. >> a little later on president obama will be heading to the pentagon to take time to remember those lost there as well. 5:46. of course the first -- the time marking when the north tower was struck by american airlines flight 11. it is 5:47 right now. we now turn to weather. christina loren is here to talk about what's happening today. it looks like we're in for another warm one. >> we certainly are in for a warm one. i'm sure you two can remember where you were on 9/11. it really puts things in perspective how lucky we are to be waking up in a free country. temperatures are going to be in the 40s and 50s to start, so you might need to dust off that jacket if you have not yet. we've had some cold mornings. the past couple of mornings have been colder than we've seen in weeks. that trend will continue as we get closer and closer to fall. the first official day is the

22nd of september and that's less than two weeks away now. temperatures are going to be nice today. a nice summer-like tuesday shaping up for you. we are losing visibility in parts of the bay area, especially down in gilroy. you're down to five miles and these numbers will continue to drop off as we head throughout the morning. 54 degrees in sunnyvale, 54 to start out in san francisco. holding on to the upper 40s in the north bay. we had the 30s yesterday. novato dropped from 45 to 39 in the matter of a half hour. today high pressure is in control but a weak trough comes through. this is going to keep that sea breeze in place. that nice westerly flow. beautiful ocean air carried all the way to the tri-valley and that means gorgeous conditions. for sitting on the patio, maybe you want to have a barbecue later on. 70s and 80s inland. you'll lose that cloud cover, getting a lot of sunshine at the coast. as of about 10:00, maybe 11:00 today, full-on sunshine in san francisco bringing your

temperature up to 69. 82 in los gatos and no 90s on that temperature map just yet. by thursday the mid-90s return. if we're talking about 95 grows in places like livermore, we could actually see those triple digits down in gilroy, so we'll keep watching that for you. beach day on friday. the good news is if you don't like the heat, at least you can hit the beach this weekend as temperatures will be in the 70s, really comfortable on saturday and sunday. let's check your drive. here's mike inouye. >> better news for the dublin interchange. i was very concerned. they said 25 minutes until tow trucks were going to arrive. that still sounds like the case, but the cars, the vehicles involved in this crash have moved to the shoulder. there are injuries reported as well, so this could be quite a bit of a distraction, but the big jam has sort of evened out. no lanes are blocked now but look at all the slowing now as your coming out of the altamont pass, in through livermore and slowing considerably in through

dublin. this will also have a lot of folks making the alternate route through isabel and livermore. keep that in mind, if you live in livermore, more traffic likely for the next half hour. let's see how things are shaping up on the peninsula. 101 picks up the volume but no slowing through palo alto past university. the construction zone north towards embarcadero and then through san mateo, easy flow. across the san mateo bridge, we're looking westbound, the volume of traffic picking up heading over to 101 and a smooth drive over the high rise and vice versa, a little lighter flow, smooth as well back to 880 and down into the south bay. the bay bridge toll plaza picks up the volume. no metering lights yet, but the cash lanes, you folks have to wait a bit. fast track payers, you get a little benefit and no problems coming out of the caldecott tunnel. back to you. >> we like no problems. thank you, mike. 5:50. the question is did it work? we'll tell you what fans an police are saying about the stepped-up security at last night's raiders game.

and how you buying an iphone can help the american economy in a real way. we'll take a look. and right now we take you back live to new york city where family members are reading the names of the victims who died, the nearly 3,000 who died in the terrorist attacks 11 years ago. they will continue reading those names until all of them have been read throughout the morning. >> gary m.alberro. >> john leslie albert. >> peter brett alderman. [ female announcer ] pillsbury crescents on their own are wonderful

...but add some ham and cheese ...roll them up in some crescent dough and tada, thursday is now... a ham & cheese crescent roll-up wonder pillsbury crescents, let the making begin. that's been wrapped in a flaky crust stuffed with a gooey center toasted up all golden brown then given a delicious design? a toaster strudel. pillsbury toaster strudel. so delicious...so fun. i wish i had u-verse when i was your age. in my day, we didn't have these fancy wireless receivers. blah, blah, blah. if i had a sleepover,

i couldn't just move the tv into the playroom. no, we had to watch movies in the den because that's where the tv outlet was. and if dad was snoring on the couch, we muscled through it. is she for real? your generation has it made. [ male announcer ] the wireless receiver. only from at&t u-verse. get a free wireless receiver with a qualifying u-verse plan. rethink possible. good morning to you. well, i'm sure you've seen coit tower. have you seen it lit up in red, white and blue as it is this morning in honor of 9/11, 11 years ago today almost 3,000 people killed in the 9/11 terror attacks. we will continue to follow that

story throughout the morning today. just about 5:54. it appears for the most part fans are sharing the new stepped-up security measures at last night's raiders game. for the first time last night everyone attending the game was required to walk through a metal detector. the new procedure is league wide and officials had warned fans that the new procedures could lead to delays getting into the game. in addition to the metal detectors, police announced a zero tolerance policy for rowdy fans. we caught this video of one fan getting arrested. in all the alameda county sheriff says there were at least 15 arrests. authorities also posted new banners all over the coliseum where a number of fans can call or text to get help from stadium security. well, despite budget cuts and a multimillion -- actually multi billion dollar deficit, a new analysis showing california still has one of the strongest economies in the entire world. california's economy is the

world's ninth largest according to the world bank. the state has a gross domestic product of nearly $2 trillion and it's the only economy in the top ten that isn't its own country. as for the top five largest economies, the united states is on top with more than $15 trillion in gdp. the u.s. followed by china, japan, germany and france. could strong sales of the iphone 5 help california edge out france for the fifth spot on that list? business and tech reporter scott mcgrew says, well, probably not. >> probably can't do that but don't laugh because the iphone 5 will have a major effect, not just on california's economy, but the entire economy of the united states. this, according to analysts at jpmorgan, who say sales of the new iphone could actually boost america's gdp by as much as half a percent in the fourth quarter. apple will announce the new iphone in san francisco. analysts expect eight million of them to be sold in the month of october, november and december.

now, which country gets the benefit depends on how you to the math. the iphone is a chinese product but the profit is american. those same analysts figure there are about $200 worth of foreign components and labor in the iphone 5. considering the phone itself can cost up to $600, that $400 profit becomes part of the american gdp. chinese state media reports factories where the iphone 5 is in full production is using student labor to make the new phone. "the new york times" says students from nearby vocational schools have been pressed into service. they don't deny the reports but says, quote, they're free to leave any time they want. as long as we're talking about factories, in michigan, ford just hired 1200 new workers and is expanding a plant where it will build ford mustangs and ford fusions, two shifts. half a billion dollars worth of new machinery. honestly this really doesn't affect us, but we talk so often

about factories closing, i thought video of a factory opening or expanding was worth your time. >> yeah, let's talk about some good news. thank you very much, scott. 5:57. still ahead, we continue to follow a fire at a south bay apartment complex. people inside forced to take extreme measures to save their own lives. and right now we take you live to washington, d.c. this is at the pentagon. throughout the day in chronological order, people will be remembering what happened 11 years ago on 9/11. we'll be back in a moment. at bank of america, we're continuing to lend and invest in the people, businesses, and organizations that call the bay area home. whether it's helping a nonprofit provide safe, affordable housing within the city, supporting an organization that's helping kids find jobs and stay in school, or financing the expansion of a local company that's creating healthier workplaces, what's important to the people of the bay area

is important to us. and we're proud to work with all those who are making our communities stronger.
